Oh my goodness... a LOT of new people... 😮 Welcome! 👋

If you need help with using Mastodon and the Fediverse, have a look at:

➡️ fedi.tips

It's written for a non-technical audience, and hopefully answers most beginners' questions.

If you're looking for accounts to follow, there are lots of ways to do it summarised here:

If you have any problems, ask me and I'll try to help!

I wish I knew how to communicate that I wanna be touched. Like I wanna be hugged, leaned on, hold my hand, cuddle, rest an arm on me. Even just platonically I want folks to get close.

animal psychology, conditioning/training // 

@lioness Huh. In hindsight I feel that I never really responded to punishment, but I had assumed this was unusual.

to hell with executive function, this brain is now a worker co-op

nail art 

I found this shirt in my metaphorical closet, so I had to use it to show off this lovely nail art that I received this weekend.

Doing it but set to archive instead of delete, just in case.

Tempted to make a filter to just delete emails containing "How likely are you to recommend", but worried it might delete something important.

This is your periodic reminder that, unless you buy and download the music you love, it will absolutely disappear out from under you at some point.

I failed to heed my own advice! This album is pretty obscure, sure, but now it's grayed out on Apple Music, and totally gone from the iTunes Store, so too late there. Bummer.

I'm thinking it might be fun to wear my unpairable socks and treat them as free radicals that can break up another pair.

Saved @naomikritzer 's new @clarkesworld story "Better Living Through Algorithms" for a quiet Sunday morning clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritz . It's as charming and inspiring as others have said.

In a similar spirit to her "Cat Pictures, Please" short story and Catnet books; also engaging with some of the same ideas as lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction Bruce Sterling's "Maneki Neko" (a story I find way less engaging) and Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age".

Youtube and Nebula are both set to 50% zoom here because the thumbnails in video listings are too dang big and there'd be like 3 videos to a page at the default zoom.

Incomplete thread of recent/current (AFAIK) information on long covid probability, prevalence, and prevention.

Because the gaslighting is getting to me.

1/N

looks like the votes are for the debugging manifesto poster (this one: wizardzines.com/images/debuggi). I'll set up preorders once we figure out how much it'll cost to print & ship them.

If you are a cis woman, and you think anti-trans legislation does not impact you, you need to wake up. Your performance of femininity will be policed. You should care because others are being hurt, but if that is not enough, realize you too will be hurt. This is a sub toot for someone in my life who is not on the Fediverse, but I’ve said as much to this person.
